A new Summit, designed to boost investment and innovation 

The Accelerating Investment and Innovation Summit brings policy makers together with investors, research institutions and business to discuss some of the most pressing issues impacting investment in early-stage and growing innovative businesses in the regions.

The North continues to produce a growing number of innovative businesses, but research shows the innovation funding gap remains an issue. This year’s Summit looked not only at the impact of this in light of the economic challenges of 2020, but how these challenges could proactively be overcome.

The online event is FREE to attend and is aimed at anyone with an interest in the innovation funding landscape, including Innovative SMEs seeking access to finance support.

The Accelerating Investment and Innovation Summit will be back for 2021. Sign up to our newsletter to make sure you don’t miss out on getting involved!
